Post Surgery

Nora just underwent emergency surgery for gastric volvulus. Somehow her stomach flipped on itself and was obstructed. She was in surgery for about an hour. The surgeon came out afterward and informed us that the condition of her stomach was initially very bad. They allowed it to rest for 10 minutes instead of drastically deciding to remove it. When they re-examined it, it DID pink back up in some areas but not all. They have done a partial closure so they can go back in tomorrow, 2 days, 3 days(?) to see if it has revived any more. At that point they will make the decision to remove any parts that are necrotic. We are PRAYING for full tissue recovery, that NO parts will need to be removed. They will also place a g-tube in her belly to prevent any future episode of her stomach twisting. This will “anchor it down” as it has been explained to us. She has quite a steep road to recovery ahead of her, but as our dear friend Tommy reminded us: STAY FOCUSED ON THE PRESENT. I think it was Proverbs 4:25 that he quoted, “Let your eyes look directly forward, and your gaze be straight before you.”

Every Little Thing is Gonna Be All Right

I am in awe of all of your encouraging texts, comments and messages, your PRAYERS are so comforting and they are MOVING MOUNTAINS!!!!! I’m so sorry I can’t respond to each and every one right now. I thought we’d be coming up here maybe for some IV fluids…. Had no idea things were this wrong. Trying to catch my breath and get my feet back on the ground after this frying pan upside the head!

My prayers, loving thoughts and hugs are being sent your way. God, almighty will see you and your family through this detour in life. He has blessed you with a remarkable living angel and he will keep her safe in His love, just as He has looked out for you throughout the years. Praise to God who protects his children even when it seems He is nowhere in sight.

King James Bible
“And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.”

Praising God for a successful surgery, a successful recovery, and supernatural strength and peace for you and your family!

Praising God for what He is about to do in Nora’s stomach and tissues. I call out to our heavenly Father to create newness of life in her stomach, just as He did as it began to pink up on the OR table!

Praising God for the placement of the G-tube, which will secure Nora’s stomach and prevent recurrence of the twisting.

Hallelujah!
